Leaning Tree, L. Daniel, 9 x 12
This past week I had the great fortune to visit my daughter and son-in-law's new home outside of Seattle, WA. It was actually quite cool and refreshing there, in the middle of August!!!!! (Can you imagine?) We did a lot of hiking and I managed to get a couple of painting sessions in as well. This particular morning at Rosario Beach was pretty fogged in... but so beautiful in its quietness. I had to paint fast because the tide was coming in. How do you know when you are finished?? When the water is lapping at your feet! :)
I can see in this picture of my set up that I kind of shortened the peninsula... hmmmmm...
Congratulations, Laurel, for being on Ramond Logan's Daily Painter Review!!! I enjoy seeing your paintings and reading about your though processes. This one is especially moving. I can feel the cool mist.
ReplyDeleteOh my this just wonderful, Laurel...
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to paint with your daughter.
This reminds me of "Lone Cypress"--beautifully executed.
ReplyDeleteThat's OK! Artistic license! Love the painting and that you get out there no matter where you are.
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog, and the inspiration you give us, Laurel. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful feeling in this. And thanks for the tip on knowing when to stop!
ReplyDeleteI love how you captured the colour of the air, tough to do when it's so different from where you live.It just speaks to how well you see what you see. Brings back many happy memories of camping in the area!
ReplyDeleteI like what Tracey said.
ReplyDeleteI love when I can feel a painting on my skin. This does just that. My hair is even starting to frizz.
Wow - fantastic painting!
